Regarding this letter, Beaver Dam, Wisconsin is about 30 miles north of Madison, WI. It is on the border of Columbia and Dodge Counties, assigned to Dodge county. The weather definately fits for winters in Wisconsin. I live about 25 miles from Beaver Dam. I thought about checking the "census" for this time period, but have been too busy today. Will check into this possiblity later in the week. Edna (Fuller) Darling
